D-Pad Studios, the studio behind the promising but development-troubled Owl Boy, has announced a brand new game, Vikings On Trampolines. It's one of those names with little ambiguity. Indeed, you're going to get exactly what is promised -- vikings on trampolines.
The trailer shows that it's a competitive title in which players must try to stop each other landing on the trampolines. Missing the bouncy target causes a viking to go splat. It looks like a lot of fun, with plenty of cartoon violence and opportunities for players to troll each other.
It's a less ambitious concept than Owl Boy was, so hopefully this'll come out without too much trouble. In any case, full development of this game will come after that Owl-based platformer, which is good news for those of us who have been eagerly anticipating it.

What did you mean by Owlboy being 'ill-fated'? Sure it's been in production for quite a while, but they have an update on the game as recently as April 8th..
